Fall TV Guide: 10 Shows We Can’t Wait to Watch

Goodbye, summer; hello fall, aka, the best time for television lovers. Months after enduring reruns and reality show competitions (no offense, America’s Got Talent), our TV guide lists a spate of brand-new shows and highly anticipated season premieres for the season. There’s plenty to take in, including David Simon’s latest series, this time set in the hustling corners of New York; a David Fincher–backed thriller about serial killers and the men who chase them; the return of Larry David and of Stranger Things’s Eleven; and yet another mini series starring Nicole Kidman, who, let’s admit, is the best actress on TV these days. Below, 10 shows we can’t wait to watch this fall.

American Horror Story: CultA show about a woman who goes insane after watching the surprise results of the 2016 presidential election may seem a bit too close to reality these days, but hey, if anyone can make a horror series out of our horrifying reality, it’s Ryan Murphy.Premieres September 5 on FX

The DeuceFor his latest series, The Wire creator David Simon turns his attention away from the streets of Baltimore to the corners of Times Square to take on the rise of the porn industry in New York City. James Franco plays a pair of twin brothers who are tied to the mob and dabble in producing, while Maggie Gyllenhaal plays Candy, a sex worker who sees the potential in turning her night job into something more.Premieres September 10 on HBO (though subscribers can already stream the pilot)

Top of the Lake: China GirlJane Campion. Nicole Kidman. Elisabeth Moss. Need we say more?Premieres September 10 on SundanceTV

Will and GraceThis ’90s sitcom about a gay New Yorker and his female best friend was revolutionary for its time. (Even Joe Biden credited it for changing the American people’s views on gay marriage.) But will the reboot of this show and its particular brand of comedy, which is chock-full of stereotypes, work as well in our current era of pansexuality and gender fluidity? Only time will tell.Premieres September 28 on NBC

Curb Your EnthusiasmIt’s been five years since everyone’s favorite curmudgeon was on TV, but thankfully, for those in need of some humor, the ninth season of Larry David’s cult comedy is finally returning to HBO. Details of the new season remain scarce, but one thing’s for sure, don’t expect a stop and chat.Premieres October 1 on HBO

DynastyAfter revamps of 90210, Dallas, and Melrose Place, it only made sense for the campiest soap opera from the ’80s to return to TV as well. Fingers crossed this reboot includes some sort of Joan Collins cameo.Premieres October 11 on The CW

MindhunterThis David Fincher–produced series about a special FBI unit tasked with analyzing serial killers has all the markings of a fall prestige binge-watch. Based-on-a-true-story premise? Check. Convoluted murder conspiracy? Check. Creepy soundtrack? Check. Solid cast? Check. Another sign Mindhunter will probably be a hit: Months before its premiere, Netflix already renewed it for a second season—that’s how you know it’s good.Premieres October 13 on Netflix

The Last O.G.“What the hell happened to Brooklyn?” asks a confused Tracy Morgan in the sneak peek of his new show, The Last O.G., about a guy struggling with gentrification in the New York borough. The series was produced by Get Out’s director Jordan Peele and also stars Girls Trip breakout star Tiffany Haddish. We can only guess there will be plenty of jokes about hipsters on fixie bikes.Premieres October 24 on TBS

Stranger ThingsSeason two of Netflix’s nostalgic horror series picks up in 1984, a year after the supernatural events that took place in Hawkins, Indiana. And though Will was saved from the Upside Down (RIP, Barb!), it seems like he still isn’t totally safe and sound just yet. Will Eleven once again save the day?Premieres October 27 on Netflix

Alias GraceThose who don’t want to wait until the second season of The Handmaid’s Tale can kill time by watching another series based on a Margaret Atwood novel, Alias Grace. The Netflix show follows the life of Grace Marks, an Irish house servant who’s accused of murdering her employer and his lover, who was also his housekeeper. Did she really do it or was an innocent woman framed?Premieres November 3 on Netflix
